BRAIN-TRansversal Assessment of Intermodal New Strategies (BRAIN-TRAINS)
For this Belgian Research Action through Interdisciplinary Networks, HEC-ULg
offers a PhD fellowship starting in March 2014.
BRAIN-TRAINS is a four-year project (2014-2018) with the University of
Antwerp.
HEC? Management School - University of Liege (HEC?-ULg) is the school of
management of the University of Liege. HEC-ULg is one of the leading Belgian
university business schools for graduate and postgraduate programs with more
than 115 full-time faculty members and researchers and more than 2380
students. The school's mission is to train creative managers who will be
responsible for building the future of businesses and organizations in a
cross-cultural world. HEC-ULg is a dynamic institution that heavily promotes
an active pedagogy leading students to actively contribute to their
education. The international vision of HEC-ULg translates into multiple
research activities in management and economics, numerous partnerships with
worldwide companies and universities, and growing internationalization of
its programs and faculty.
HEC-ULg is located in Li?ge, Belgium?s third largest city, and the largest
agglomeration of the French-speaking Walloon region. At the heart of Europe,
Li?ge is the third inland port of Europe and the seventh freight airport in
Europe.? Recognized for its quality of life and its rich historical
patrimonium, Li?ge is ideally situated within the Meuse-Rhin Euregio, 40
kilometers from Maastricht (the Netherlands) and 60 kilometers from Aachen
(Germany). It is less than 1.5 hours away from K?ln, 2.5 hours from Paris
and 4 hours from London by high-speed train (TGV) starting from the new
magnificent train station designed by the renowned architect Santiago
Calatrava.
HEC-ULg work environment :

Mission?
:
The objective of BRAIN-TRAINS is to determine how rail freight intermodality
can be made successful and how it can contribute to solve the related
market, society and policy-making challenges. Starting point of the project
is the relative weak usage of this mode of transport. The research proposal
aims at building new understanding based on existing knowledge, by
integrating and approaching the problem from an interdisciplinary
perspective. It tackles various issues which are still scientifically
unresolved, for both policy-makers and the transport sector.
HEC-ULg?s main work is on the design and the management of intermodal
transport services networks. To do that, road, rail and transhipment costs
can be based on models for calculating operational and external costs of
intermodal and road freight transportation networks. These costs include
different components such as personnel, energy, stock depreciation and
maintenance, and rail infrastructure charges, but also delays through e.g.
customs procedures. External costs include local and global air pollution,
congestion, noise pollution, and traffic accidents. In order to reflect the
real impact of transportation on the environment, those costs will be
incorporated into our models, in interaction with the outputs of the other
partners of the project. Secondly, our research will look into the economic
improvements that an intermodal services network may bring by a better use
of its modal networks and an optimal distribution of the flows on these
networks. More precisely, given a group of demands characterized by their
removal points, their delivery points, the physical properties of the goods
and the times intervals for removal and delivery, transport chains have to
be defined between the removal and delivery points.
The approach comes under the operations research domain and the mathematical
optimization. Design and management of intermodal transport services
networks problems are complex inherently, in regards to the multiplicity of
the objectives, of the constraints and of the parameters. In addition,
taking into account external costs due to emissions might imply the
development of non-linear optimization models.

2ND CALL FOR PAPERS

Designing complex industrial systems is a fundamental strategic challenges.
This spawned the relatively new academic field of "system architecture &
engineering", producing a body of research that allows engineers to manage
the increasing complexity of the technical systems they design.
This field is at the interface between industry and academia, and requires
its practitioners to understand the industrial concrete contexts as well
as to master a strong theoretical background.
Thus, the ambition of the 5th CSD&M conference is to be the meeting of
reference for both the industrial and academic environments working in the
design and management of complex industrial systems.

The conference takes place just after the NATCOR course, which will
also be held in Nottingham.

******************CALL FOR PAPERS******************
**4th Student Conference on Operational Research**
************************SCOR 2014***********************
******May 2-4 2014, University of Nottingham, UK*****
*********************www.scor14.com*********************


We are pleased to announce the official launch of the PhD Student
Conference on Operational Research (SCOR 2014), now back for its
fourth instalment. We invite you to join us once again, at the
beautiful University of Nottingham campus the 2-4 May 2014.

PhD students from all European Universities studying Operational
Research, Management Science or a related field are kindly invited to
submit an abstract for presentation at the conference. As some
presenters may still be on an early stage of in their careers, the
work presented does not need to be fully developed or thoroughly
explored as of yet. The purpose of SCOR 2014 is to provide a friendly
environment for the next generation of Operational Researchers to
receive constructive feedback on their work and to meet people with
similar interests. The scope of the conference includes, but is not
limited to:

*Big Data & Analytics * Data Mining * Energy * Forecasting * Graphs /
Networks * Healthcare *
*Heuristics * Inventory * Mathematical Programming * Multicriteria
Decision Analysis * *Neural Networks / Machine Learning * Optimisation
and Applications * Reliability / Risk Assessment * Scheduling /
Timetabling * Stochastic Modelling * Supply Chain Management *
*Simulation / System Dynamics * Transport /Logistics*

*******Deadline for abstract (250 words) submission: Monday 24th
February 2014*********

A notification of acceptance will be sent shortly after this deadline.
In order to encourage a wide
range of students to attend, an affordable conference fee will cover
accommodation, a full social
program and full catering provided.

******************Deadline for PAPERS submission: Friday 11th April
2014******************


Presenters are also invited to submit a paper (no more than 10 pages)
on their work to be published electronically as part of the SCOR 2014
proceedings. This will be available in the Dagstuhl OpenAccess Series
in Informatics (OASIcs). Paper submissions will undergo a selection
process based on refereeing by the Committee. This gives doctoral
candidates a chance to experience the peer-review process and to
enhance their technical writing skills. Although it
is not mandatory, it is again, highly recommended. To get an idea on
the paper standards please visit the SCOR2012 proceedings.


See you in Nottingham!!!
